Does anyone have a list, by page number, of the drugs in the brenner pharm cards?

I purchased these cards today and found that they are organized by use, not alphabetically and contain no index. We have a specific list of drugs that do not fall into these categories and I am having a terrible time locating the cards.

Thanks
 
Hey Napoleown. I completely agree. I just emailed the author Dr. Brenner about it, and I'll let you know what I hear back.

This same question was posted over in the USMLE Step 1 forum about a month or two back. I had the same problem after receiving the cards..I gave up using them after about a week of searching through all the cards to find specific drugs.... I emailed the publisher and received a short response saying there is no index included with the flashcards and there is no index online either...this was 2 months ago so maybe there has been one added since then? If so, pleaseee let me know!...if not..anyone willing to try to make one?
 
Hey all, I heard back from the author, George Brenner. He's very nice and he told me:

Thank you for your interest in the second edition of Pharmacology Flash Cards. The index was inadvertently omitted from the second edition by the publisher. An index has been developed for this edition, and will be added to the second printing of the cards. I am attaching a copy of the index for your use. I regret that this is the best I can do at this time. Please feel free to go ahead and post the index on the studentdoctor website. I will let the publisher know.

Thanks,
George Brenner

I took his original file and created two additional alternative files:
1) with columns
2) with columns on 4x6 cards

I have attached his original file, as well as these other two files to this post.

Best of luck to everyone studying.

Thanks for posting!

I had already dumped the whole box and alphabetized them, but at least I won't get paper cuts from flipping through all of the cards anymore.
 
this is awesome, i was about to return these but now this makes my life much easier. how can a publisher leave out something so crucial as an index on flash cards?
 
This is awesome, those brenner cards are such a pain in the ass without an index, especially considering certain drugs could be in any section.
 
Thanks again for posting the index. I bought the cards from another student, and even though I liked the cards, without the index I was getting pretty frustrated.

This was a pharm saver!
